Topic: lets go back to the barter system | |
---|---|
Daniel, I know exactly what you are looking for. And every thread,
virtually every thought that floats through this site is connected to that ideal. But the dark cloak of political correctness has shrouded that place in ignorance. The lack of education and the need for instant gratification has done nothing but super-size the consumer minded ego into wanting more, more, more. You say you don't have the money to create such a community. But I already told you that you have the heart. That is your currencey. Plan to spend some time onit-but find a copy of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" this summer. Then let me know how you feel about your community in the fall. |

It hasn't been all that many years ago that ppl did jump to help one
another out when trouble hit. Haven't seen it in many years Times sure have changed and not for the better i'm afraid. |

Steve-you should get with Daniel and discuss his community. History is
filled with unrealized innovations because the dream died with the dreamer. |

nusalor bothers me greatly, because he knows this system is currupt and
he basiclly says, so what deal with it, I do. And I say FUQK all of you who holds these kinds of thinking. People like nusalor are worse then the "soap and sports watchers" because they actually KNOW that we are being screwed and this system is evil, but yet they enjoy the fact that it doesnt bother them and they are cheerleader for the fact that evil is around us and promote the idea THAT WE CANT DO ANYTING ABOUT IT To this I say FuQk the people that enjoy self-ubforbed boot-licking. Its like they are addicted to licking-boots so long that they are psycotic in that, they want others to enjoy licking-boots and eating vomit too. LOL Pathetic but LOL I try to avoid these sick lickers of boots... I just mowed the lawn with fresh dog shiq....they can lick my 10 year old nikes. LOL |

I agree with Daniel in principle.
Only it’s not rally about a barter system. Printed money can actually be used as a ‘barter system’. What it’s really about is moving away from seeking high-tech solutions to everything. And relying on mega-farms and mega-industries, to drive an economy-based society. What we need to do is move toward low-tech solutions (i.e. natural solution), and move toward, small-businesses and home-based self-sufficiency. So that our society driven more from a personal accomplishment perspective instead of a mega-economy perspectives. I agree with you wholeheartedly Daniel. And it’s definitely doable in a practical sense. Please read my post in response to Twilightstwin’s thread entitled “E 85 Ethanol”. What I said there was along similar lines no sense in repeating it here. Link to that thread: http://www.justsayhi.com/topic/show/18819 Let me know what you think Daniel. |

No bear-I simply don't let it eat at me like it apparently eats at you.
I am encouraging this man to do something to change "the system" so that he may enjoy life more. I am encouraging something radical-and you are against it. The problem, bear, lies within people like you. Angst filled whiners who are afraid of change and refuse to debate the topic. |

Here is a place that embraces Freedom, and barters.
Jack McLamb had a table at the last Denver Preparedness Show in 1999, where he was selling lots in the Almost Heaven Covenant Communities. Here is a newspaper article from 2004, that tries to disparage the residents of the Covenant Communities, but you can glean a lot of useful information from the`article. Almost Heaven almost gone? http://tinyurl.com/254fms |

mid east thats its considered an honor, a sign of respect for someone to lick your feet. looking for the tallest tree? thats whats wrong with stuff now days, instant gratification, try finding a little sapling and nurturing it, protecting it, feeding it until one day it is as migty as an oak? nope got to have it now, microwave society life sucks, no one taking time. doc |

nusalor, thanks, imus - another shameful topic all together.
i think bear likes us. doc |
|
|
|
well doc
you are a soldier and you know that this countries soldiers took an oath to the Consitution and to protect the United States, and since you support this governments involvement in the Middle East and killing hundreds of thousands of innocetn people that this Constitution does not support. I would call you at best a boot-licker like Hitlers SS men and at worse a traitor to the oath you took. Now why did you take this original thread of topic? ________________________________________ and back to nusalor in his thinking here, just look at something on his profile.

so to the original topic, good ole days of bartering,,,yeah exactly when
was that, money has been around forever, unless you lived in like a jungle community or something weve never had to barter. now if refering to bartering tin the US, well weve never been a society that bartered soley for goods. so now what, throw away the clothes and go off into the woods, loin clothe in tow. drink the kool aid. what did you say about me? oh yeah thats right, im a person who even though doesnt agree with you, has the right to believe as i chose, and not be demoralized for it? yeah think thats what you meant to say, icarus. doc |

Doc-I think bear would want to date either one of us if he had the
chance...you first. Bear-checking me out, huh? My profile contains absolutely no information about me that is real, save the demographics. Shows that you believe everything you read. No wonder you're so confused. You just don't get it. On the original topic. Just couldn't resist saying those were Nike's covered in your doggy-doo, could you? Another lost soul in the consumer driven frenzy for more, more, more. |

I have done barter many times. What ever works!
|
|
|

Some small bartering does still exist today.(useally between friends or
associates.) Our green money that we use nowadays is just another part of our gov controlling our barter. Witch has paved a path to greed. |
